As an international student, you must pay a non-refundable tuition fee deposit before you can receive your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) letter. This deposit becomes the first part of your tuition fee payment.

You should not pay the deposit until you have received your official offer letter from us. The letter will contain your applicant number, which you will need to pay the deposit.

Reminder of the tuition fee will need to be settled upon enrolment, or alternatively, through an instalment plan if you are eligible for one. Your offer letter will specify your eligibility status.

You can make a direct bank transfer to the University of Sunderland's bank account.

For questions about payments, tuition fees, and refund policies please email the Finance Office at revenues.finance@sunderland.ac.uk

Please ensure that you quote your full name and application number on all tuition fee transactions. You should also read all University financial policies before you send any payment.

A sponsored student is a student whose fees are being paid for by their employer or a government body. Any student being sponsored (e.g. by a company or public sector organisation) needs to provide valid written evidence in the form of a sponsor letter of support for each academic year.

To be valid, a sponsor letter must be on the official sponsor’s letterhead and clearly state the student name, student number and the sponsorship amount. If relatives or personal friends are paying your fees, they are not official sponsors and you will be treated as a self-funded student.

If your sponsor is funding less than the full amount of your tuition fee or withdraws the sponsorship during the financial year for any reason, it is your personal responsibility to settle any outstanding amount.

Fraudsters typically select international students who are looking for ways to make their payments to the University, but will target anyone they think they can make money from.
